I am trying to use a custom boot animation.

I located and replaced the bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource but this did not seem to actually replace the boot animation..... Is the boot animation located somewhere else for this rom?

I was able to change the shutdown animation without any problems.

Also can anyone help with changing the lockscreen ring, when i flashed one onto my device, no ring showed up at all.....forcing me to reflash the rom, kernel, and all other customizations again..... Not sure if flashing is the proper way to change this or not.

Any help with either problem would be greatly appreciated!!

Replace the one in /data/drm ;)

Thanks baadnewz, however it changes only on a cosmetic level (ie if for example: when the xda app looks to see what phone you have. - it now displays correct.

However if I look at settings/about phone/model, it still shows Z710e,

And also if you first turn it on and go to bootloader options, it says Z710e there too.

(at that stage would it have even got to read the build.Prop file?)

I am also having issues with the OC kernel. Does not seem to apply properly and notice black screen after a call ends. Also tried lower freq. but same issues. Flashed back to stock kernel and all is fine. Does not take away from this great ROM. Thanks Baadnewz!!!

Oh, I don't check this thread for a few days and there are custom kernels now?!

Without having to make me re-read pages and pages of posts, what is the general verdict on the custom kernel? Things all working? Better battery life? Stable? (they're the most important to me!)

this patch isn't working, Arabic still showing from left to right in internet and gmail. it is working in friend stream and sms but not probably though.

Phone Rebooting itself after installation of CRT Animation

I has using 2.1 since the 12th with the following "updates" and it was running fine.

- Add CRT ON/OFF Animations

- Stock % Battery and Overscroll thanks nbicho

However I did a FULL Wipe and installed the following:

- Add Extended Quick Settings + 4G icon for Sensation 4g Users

- Enable SIP over 3G

- Add CRT ON/OFF Animations

- Camera with Panorama and Video Bitrate Select - thanks seo and m-deejay

- Stock % Battery and Overscroll thanks nbicho

And the phone started to reset after the default background showed up. I did many wipes and re-installation and tried the updates one by one and I narrowed it down to the Add Crt animation (combined with one of the others).

If I install these:

- Add Extended Quick Settings + 4G icon for Sensation 4g Users

- Enable SIP over 3G

- Camera with Panorama and Video Bitrate Select - thanks seo and m-deejay

- Stock % Battery and Overscroll thanks nbicho

The phone works fine, and if I install just the 2.1 + the CRT animation, the phone works fine as well.

Anyone able to replicate this ?

Thanks

Help me with my battery drain.

I open, browse through Sense pages, and check back the battery, drops 3% at once. I am not able to understand the reason for this behavior. Current Widget reports 300mA current on average in stand by. Even in standby the battery drains like 5-6% an hour and a slight use of opening app drawer and closing, checking friendstream drops 3% at once.

I have calibrated the battery. Charged to full, current widget started reporting 20-30mA draw, then I rebooted into CWM and wiped battery stats, and then used and drained the battery, charged again to full, so this is my second cycle, still its behavior is same.

I am confused on what the problem is. Am I missing something?

Regarding the apps, I tried with fresh installation and only Google account added, no mail, no friendstream, etc.

Please provide suggestions.

I have attached the screenshot of battery usage in which you can see sharp fall in the slope, i.e during usage, and in standby the graph should be almost straight, but there is a big slope.

Thanks for all the suggestions you may give. Other than this everything is fine and good, but this battery restricts me from enjoying the ROM. Don't know when it may drop suddenly 5% at once!

Edit: I don't have the CRT addon installed.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
The time I wrote this I was using custom. Man I don't trust that kernel, my phone was hotttttttttttt, even took it off charge for 2 hours and it didn't cool down you know and I was only oc'd to 1.29 :/. And i restarted the phone and the battery dropped from 98% to 64% I was like huh?

But yer I flashed back stock too. But it still gets hotter then the leak did which is what I find weird. Leak seemed to do a very good job at controlling heat, official seems like there's no difference

the truth behind battery re-calibration. http://www.sdx-developers.com/sdx/the-truth-behind-battery-re-calibration/
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
That can happen when an app decides to sync a ton of data after a new install. HTCSense sync, facebook.... occasionally an app gets out of controll or the gps gets stuck on... that will do the same thing.

A reboot fixes 40% of those issues, leaving it on and waiting fixes the other 40%...

The remaining 10% is juat random freaky **** that happens :D
[HTC Sensation] lekenaeth:
Thanks, I've done my reading and this is the best explanation regarding battery life.

Very informative.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
So I just encountered an issue that I've had on this and all previous versions of the unity kernel: when I plugged my phone in about 2 hours ago it was at about 25%. When i unplugged it just now it was at about 40% (15% in 2 hours WTF!) and it didn't register that it had been unplugged. The orange led stayed lit and the icon still indicated charging. Only a reboot made it register unplugged and it also showed a full battery. Flashing back to stock since I don't want to fry my battery by continuing to charge it after its full.
[HTC Sensation] lordlad:
i installed these addons and keep having reboot problem and the power button doesn't allow me to lock the phone!!

-extended quick settings

Add CRT ON/OFF Animation

Camera with Panorama

Stock % Batt and overscroll

Helvetica Neue

I did a wipe of everything before i install the rom. Now i am going to test it one by one to see what cause the issue.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
Add CRT ON/OFF Animation probably, is bugged as hell, one version screws autobacklight, one is only for off. we still have to find the right things.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Well i installed the day it came out, and I have manual sync on (auto turned off). I think its best to stick with stock kernel for now.

What about the last 10%? :P
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:

Sometimes when a list is cached its smooth... But only for a short moment... Most of the time scrolling in lists is laggy as hell!

hey baad , can you say something about that ? do we have to live with it ??
[HTC Sensation] smakked:
Browser is fine here, stock and dolphin been using it for a few hours with out issue
[HTC Sensation] miodrag.cutura:
Hey baad, another thing (cannot call it a bug) noticed.

When finishing a phone call, it takes a lot of time for the phone to take you to the homescreen. It just keeps the picture and the message 'call ended' for at least a second longer then on InsertCoin 1.0.9 sw.

Regards,
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
press home if you want faster :)
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
please baad .... what about scrolling ??
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
maybe that app has problems with 2.3.4 ? since scrolling is laggish is just some particular app i have to assume that it is an incompatibility between that app and this 2.3.4.

unless the scrolling is lagging in all rom nothing i can do
[HTC Sensation] theorie:
I've been using this ROM for a few days now and I must say it's great. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to under/overclock, but I'm fine waiting until there is a 2.3.4 kernel that can do this.

Thanks for the great ROM. I haven't had any problems yet and its mind-blowing how fast everything works.

Oh, by the way, my girlfriend is Romanian. I think we're going to Bucharest next year to visit her family. haha

Thanks for the great ROM!
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
Scroll Lag

I also agree lag when scroll apps etc seems to be bad other then that it's fine. I do notice a issue where I go to reboot normal reboot and lights on keypad stay lit screen goes off. I end up having to do a battery pull to turn it back on.

battery life??

I heard that android 2.3.4 would bring some large improvements to dual core phones, so my question to all of you that had installed RC2 is " do you see large improvements in battery life and how much "mA" does "current widget" report in standby??

Thx
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Great news, looking forward to rc3. Can watch be re included or is it not compatible?
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
well i have to test
[HTC Sensation] miodrag.cutura:
Hey baad,

A tiny bug, when you turn the phone on and about to get to the standby screen, there'se a popup message saying 'SD card was removed before being mounted.'

And yes, will all of the market apps be visible with the next update? Some apps are just invisible...

Hehe thanks for the tip to press the home button, but hey, the idea is to reduce unnecessary efforr, right?:P So, 50 calls a day, 50 presses more, co oooon :P

Regards,
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
maybe this is how was ment to be by htc ? you know so ppl can have time to see call duration. dunno. dont take anything that isnt like 2.3.3 as a bug.

market apps are probably unavailable because phone identifies it self as HTC Sensation Android 2.3.4 ..

Isn't it enough to have one copy of qtorrent? Seems you download this again and again, where is the torrent file...

Or am I way of...?
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
you wont be overcharging your battery, its just reading wrong.

today mine said 14% and I was thinking - **** that went down fast, I rebooted because I was testing the OC stuff to see if it was sticking, and it showed 45% on reboot. it then charged back to 100% in an hour (and stopped charging).

So the moral of the story - when it read 14% it was actually around 45% (which is what it showed when it rebooted)

and I have had other times it has been charging and taken hours to go from 50% to 70%, and then all of a sudden jumped from 71% to 100% and stopped charging. (which is what yours would have probably done if you left it - got up to 42% or something and then said "nope, actually I am full"and jumped to 100%

It makes me laugh all these people who say their phone has been on 98% average use for 6 hours. That is physically and scientifically impossible. and it will get to like 60% and say, actually, nope I am flat 5% byebye!

that is what the calibration is all about - putting some sort of mathematical formulae to the particular battery to 'guess with a high degree of acuracy' what the true life is going to be based on prior statistics.
[HTC Sensation] theredundant:
well i posted a link about battery re-calibration 2 pages back. i think it makes a lot of sense. the only time i think we should re-calibrate is when there's a new battery. anyway here's the link for those who missed it.

[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Well, smartass has proven to be most efficient governor when it comes to good balance between battery life and performance. It's sort of what HTC does by default but waaaaay more optimised and quicker. That applies to Desire, we'll have to wait and see if its the same with Sensation.

[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
I wish there was a true calibration app like the Nexus one had, that actually used a program that set registers etc. Simply charging full, discharging and charging full along with using an app on the market that doesn't do any more than the same thing that basically resets the battery stats as clockwork does already is not a true calibration procedure. Sure, it's better than nothing, but those of us that had a Nexus One's and used the battery calibration app in the market that was specific ONLY for the the Nexus One would understand what a true calibration procedure can do.

[HTC Sensation] MartijnGP:
Try to read the start post..

No, no wipes are required coming from 2.x. However, when coming from 2.0 to a higher version you do need to update your radio. And ofcourse, a full wipe is always recommended. IE, If you experience issues with a non-wipe flash, wipe before complaining.

[HTC Sensation] Derbyman32:
This Rom keeps getting better daily. I have had zero fc's since the 2.1 version. My battery life is way improved. The rom is smooth and moves quickly. No lags. The stupid benchmarks will make you think the rom is potentially slow and knowing that is not true in real life use I have deleted the benchmarks and will leave them for those who put faith in them numbers, lol.

I trust myself and my experience with the rom not some easily manipulated faster benchmarks that make your phone lock up and crash with frequency. I will take a look at the new OC that bad is working on if he says it is stable I will give it a go. So far this rom is easily useable as an everyday phone experience. My experience with many other roms were not nearly as stable.

I am finally loving my sensation and it is the phone I hoped it would be. Thanks guys for all the hard work.:D
